Timothée Chalamet Once Got Some Great Advice From Kid Cudi In GQ's latest cover story, Chalamet described how after getting cast in Interstellar in 2014, he thought new roles would come easy. However, Chalamet struggled to find anything and his confidence was shattered. Luckily, he ran into Kid Cudi at one of his concerts and got a much-needed pep talk. Backstage at a show in Montreal, Cudi described his own lows and the single-minded determination that forced him to double down on his efforts to perform his way out of trouble. Timothée excused himself to run home so he could write down everything he'd heard. He keeps the notes on his phone. The takeaway was: Are you, Timothée, the sort of person who can't possibly live any other way? 'F*** yeah.' Chalamet took the words to heart and was filled with renewed vigor for acting, something that would lead him to rack up a Golden Globe nomination, two BAFTA nominations and an Academy Award nod for best actor. The lesson? If you're ever feeling down, talk to Kid Cudi.
